Yes, one has to "bend" the English, but this is part of the fun of the joke.
..., still can't get from "bales" to "haze" through any sort of "bent English"...I fired a "shot in the dark." Some sort of colloquialism?

For what it's worth, neither "Crystal Methodist Church" or "Effing, SC" turns up any results in Google Maps. (drat!)

This inspired me to search for a certain village in Austria. I discovered that it was renamed Fugging this year.

Now that you mention it, it wouldn't surprise me if the same was the case with some of the other pics, without my knowledge.

they are bales of "hay" so the "bending" is calling them "hays." And from "hays" to "haze."

EDIT: not that anyone actually calls them "hays." The first time I saw this joke, I didn't get it. The next time, it popped right into my head.

Note, people call them "bales of hay" or just "bales." If you saw a truckload on the road, you'd say, "a truckload of hay."

And don't go to Mandi's party if you're ugly.

Where I live, masks are still mandatory everywhere for ALL unattractive people.

Have you seen the British series Crashing, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge?

Season 1, episode 6. YIKES!

I looooooooved her in Fleabag. But some people don't get past the first scene. Both were written and created by, and starred Phoebe Bridge
